Emirates Launches Limited-Edition Luggage Made From Aircraft Interiors
The new 'Aircrafted by Emirates 2025' collection turns retrofitted aircraft parts into travel bags—with proceeds going to charity. Emirates has unveiled a new limited-edition line of luggage made from the interiors of its retrofitted A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft—offering aviation enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of flying history. Titled the 'Aircrafted by Emirates 2025 Collection,' the 167 handmade pieces are now available at the Emirates Official Store. Each item is constructed using repurposed materials like leather headrests, aluminium panels, and even seatbelts—painstakingly cleaned and transformed by a team of in-house artisans. The collection includes new trolley bags, backpacks, and handbags, one of which features fur from an Emirates captain's seat. Prices range from USD 80 to USD 350, with proceeds supporting children's initiatives via the Emirates Airline Foundation. This project is part of Emirates' broader sustainability efforts and ties into its multi-billion-dollar retrofit programme, which has repurposed 30,000 kg of cabin materials from 63 aircraft to date.

The worst part about travelling is packing, but cute luggage helps. And now, those who love all things Emirates can get a selection of cabin bags, suitcases, backpacks and handbags by the airline for their next trip. All designed and handmade by Emirates tailors, the collection is made from upcycled materials from retrofitted aircraft. Materials used from the Aircrafted by Emirates 2025 Collection have all been gathered from the interiors of the airline's old A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft. All fabrics are freshly laundered in a facility, then further deep cleaned by hand, leather-conditioned and thoroughly disinfected before being sewn into unique pieces. New lining is added to the bags, along with functional zippers and some bags even feature actual Emirates' seatbelts as straps. The limited-edition range is on sale in the Emirates Official Store, and you won't need to feel guilty about splashing the cash as most proceeds will be donated to children in need via the Emirates Airline Foundation.

Backpacks and handbags are available in two different styles – one of which is made using fur from the captain's seat. Prices of each handmade item range from around Dhs290 and Dhs1,250. All bags have been designed and handmade by Emirates tailors in a dedicated cabin workshop at the airline's engineering facility in Dubai. A team of 14 tailors, known as Engineering Maintenance Assistants, work on fixing and stitching any tears in the interiors of the airline's aircraft fleet. Emirates has been retrofitting the interior cabins of 219 of its A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft, the two largest commercial aircraft types today. Several of the new-look, re-upholstered aircraft have been taking to the skies from Dubai in the past year. Jetting off soon?
